I suppose he was at-least coming onto ground effect.
Reminds me of this story of a B-52 except no ground effect coming over a ridge. Nobody got pictures at they were all running the hell outta there...
"Holland commanded a single-aircraft training mission to the Yakima Bombing Range to provide an authorized photographer an opportunity to document the aircraft as it dropped training munitions. The minimum aircraft altitude permitted for that area was 500 feet (150 m) AGL. During the mission, Holland's aircraft was filmed crossing one ridgeline about 30 feet (10 m) above the ground. Fearing for their safety, the photography crew ceased filming and took cover as Holland's aircraft again passed low over the ground, this time estimated as clearing the ridgeline by only three feet (1 m). The co-pilot on Holland's aircraft testified that he grabbed the controls to prevent Holland from flying the aircraft into the ridge while the aircraft's other two aircrew members repeatedly screamed at Holland, "Climb! Climb!" Holland responded by laughing and calling one of the crew members "a pussy'" From Wikepedia
of course he would famously later kill himself, three others and wreck a good airplane doing that sh*t......Comment

Be careful what you ask of pilots. Remember the Boeing 707 test pilot whom Boeing's president asked him to make the press flight memorable? Mr. Test Pilot barrel rolled the 707 prototype with a plane load of screaming press weenies. He made it memorable.Originally posted by Loren View PostI suppose he was at-least coming onto ground effect.
